'''Mike Ferrando''' is an American Christian author, researcher, and advocate of the [[Textus Receptus]] and the [[Comma Johanneum]]. He is best known for his research into historical manuscript evidence for 1 John 5:7–8 and for compiling references to the Comma Johanneum in Greek manuscripts, Latin manuscripts, lectionaries, church fathers, and ancient versions.

Ferrando is the author of ''The Witness of God is Greater'', a work defending the authenticity of the Comma Johanneum and examining its textual history. His research has been cited by advocates of the [[Textus Receptus]], [[King James Version]], and [[Confessional Bibliology]] movements.

== Research ==

Ferrando's work focuses primarily on:

* The [[Comma Johanneum]] (1 John 5:7–8).
* Greek and Latin manuscript evidence.
* Patristic citations.
* Historical Bible translations.
* The preservation of the New Testament text.

He has collected and published information relating to numerous manuscripts that contain, reference, or are argued to support the Comma Johanneum.

== The Witness of God is Greater ==

Ferrando's best-known work is ''The Witness of God is Greater'', which presents historical evidence in support of the authenticity of the Comma Johanneum. The book surveys manuscript evidence, church fathers, ancient versions, and theological considerations relating to the passage.

The work is frequently cited by modern defenders of the Comma Johanneum and the Textus Receptus.

== Views ==

Ferrando argues that the Comma Johanneum was known in the early church and that its absence from many surviving Greek manuscripts does not demonstrate that it was absent from the original text of First John. His work places considerable emphasis on Latin manuscript evidence and patristic testimony.

His views are generally associated with the Textus Receptus and Confessional Bibliology positions regarding the preservation of Scripture.

== Influence ==

Ferrando's research has been used by a number of writers and ministries defending the Textus Receptus, the King James Version, and the authenticity of 1 John 5:7–8. His manuscript transcriptions and historical references are frequently cited in discussions concerning the Comma Johanneum.
